Hockey\u2019s a very cool game. It\u2019s hotter than ever, since the men\u2019s and women\u2019s Olympic teams came home with gold medals. There\u2019s a place in Broward that\u2019s celebrating all the wins by breaking down the science of the sport.<\/p>\n
Thanks to thrilling overtime wins by both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s Olympic hockey teams, the country has gone pucking crazy.<\/p>\n
Inside Fort Lauderdale\u2019s Museum of Discovery and Science, the magic of the game is laid out in the latest exhibition called \u201cHOCKEY: Faster Than Ever.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meredith Feder: \u201cIt\u2019s a full-body, very exciting exhibit to get kids inspired by hockey and learn the science behind it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The timing of the exhibit couldn\u2019t be more perfect.<\/p>\n
Meredith Feder: \u201cWe have tremendous foresight here at the museum. We are home to the two-time Stanley Cup winners, the Florida Panthers, who have actually partnered with us to bring this exhibit to life, and now home to two gold-medal USA championship teams. We are so excited to have hockey here with us.\u201d<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a bunch of interactive stuff going on here. You can practice your slap shot if you want. Push one button and learn how players score a goal. Push another, and you\u2019re cleaning up the ice with a Zambroni.<\/p>\n
Meredith Feder: \u201cBut you\u2019re also going to be able to see the evolution of hockey and a lot of hockey artifacts throughout the past 100 years.\u201d<\/p>\n
You can check out the advances the game has made.<\/p>\n
Meredith Feder: \u201cAnd be able to connect in a really meaningful way with some of the science that goes into stick-making and the materials behind sticks.\u201d<\/p>\n
There\u2019s some very important human history here, as well.<\/p>\n
Meredith Feder: \u201cThere is a lot of real estate in this exhibit devoted to celebrating women in the sport.\u201d<\/p>\n
As always, MODS has come up with a presentation that pleases everyone.<\/p>\n
Meredith Feder: \u201cFor the museum, we\u2019re always looking for ways to make that immediate connection with children and families, and I think you\u2019re gonna come to this exhibit and you\u2019re gonna have some of those experiences you would expect.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Florida Panthers have left their mark all over the exhibit.<\/p>\n
Meredith Feder: \u201cBut I think also one of the surprising things is that they\u2019ve opened up some of their vaults to us, their amazing artifacts and pieces of history.\u201d<\/p>\n
If anybody needs a time-out, you can always send them to the penalty box.<\/p>\n
Meredith Feder: \u201cSo that\u2019s a hidden treasure of the exhibit.\u201d<\/p>\n
HOCKEY: Faster Than Ever will be featured at MODS through May 3rd. Their goal is to get you inside to check it all out.<\/p>\n
Meredith Feder: \u201cIt really is expanding our audiences here at the museum, and we look at it as a great way to get people in the door that might not have been here before.\u201d<\/p>\n
